If you need to know one thing about me {besides my love of thrifting}, it's that I hate the heat. Like, I seriously hate it unless there's a nearby body of water for me to cool off in. And unfortunately for me, it's been pretty hot in NYC and pretty much throughout the country. One morning the Weather Channel described the temps as "dangerous and oppressive." Geez!

On days when you're practically sweating before you even step foot out of the door, what to wear can be a serious dilemma. I knew I'd be out all day last weekend at the Brooklyn Flea market and then I was heading straight to my homie Danielle's {i.e. The Style & Beauty Doctor} Tweet Your Face Off party, so I wanted a look that was comfortable but still cute of course.

Last weekend I finally checked out Udelco in Hawthorne, New Jersey. The massive vintage clothing distributor is open to the public and nothing's over $20. Besides the affordability, I was looking forward to falling in love with the 60s, 70s and 80s apparel.Like I stated, Udelco is a warehouse and most of the clothing is stacked on shelves in cardboard boxes. Though some people are turned off or intimidated by digging through tons of clothing, I love it. There's nothing better than searching for a vintage, affordable treasure.I spent two hours at the Udelco and I was in absolute heaven. Check out the pieces I found below as well as some tips on how to thrift in a warehouse location.

When you first enter the warehouse, some clothing, including dresses, pants and jumpsuits are on easy to navigate racks and shoes are nearly arranged.
